Video Description v

Video ID; Someone in a cross fox mask to the song "lockjaw" by "sir mix alot" the text on screen says, "Bros so schizo, Schizomaxing, Schizoposting"

"Shut Up!, "mental health matters" until schizophrenia is brought up then suddenly, it's all jokes and mockery. these jokes might seem harmless to some, but they reinforce dangerous stereotypes. They make it harder for schizophrenic people to be taken seriously, to get help, or even to feel safe. If you genuinely care about mental health, that care should include all mentally ill people. Schizophrenic people deserve respect and dignity, EVEN IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THEM"

Queering the elements

In my last post, I talked about the origins of the whole "masculine/feminine energy" thing that we see in witchcraft and occultism. In this post, I want to share an example from my own practice of how I honor traditional gender associations while also making room for more varieties of gender identity and expression, using the classical elements as an example.

To be clear, this is just one example of how we can queer Western occultism. This is what works for me, but you might find that something else works better for you. That is perfectly fine, and I encourage you to do your own brainstorming and find what resonates with you.

I know some queer witches choose to remove gendered associations from their practice entirely, and I think that's totally valid. I, personally, think gendered energies do have a place in my practice, but that goes way beyond just masculine/male and feminine/female.

Binary gender is not inherently bad. I think we can work with masculine and feminine energies while also making room for gender identities that fall outside of that binary. Personally, I think making space to acknowledge and celebrate nonbinary, agender, and genderfluid identities on the same level as binary genders is an important part of this work.

The model I use for the elements in my practice was created by my partner, who has given me permission to share it here. This model still connects the elements with gendered energies, but in a way that is much more inclusive.

Earth is feminine because of its associations with nourishing, community building, and practicality, things I see reflected in the women in my culture, both cis and trans.

Fire is masculine because of its associations with movement, passion, and determination, things I see reflected in the men in my culture, both cis and trans.

(To be clear, I'm not saying that only women can be nurturers or that only men can be passionate and determined. Obviously, any person of any gender can have any of these traits.)

Air is associated with agender and nonbinary identities and with anyone who does not feel a strong attachment to any particular gender. Air is ethereal, thoughtful, and intellectual, traits I see reflected in the nonbinary and agender people around me.

Water is associated with genderfluid and genderqueer identities, and with anyone whose identity cannot be easily labeled. Water is mysterious, flexible, and intuitive, traits I see reflected in the genderfluid and genderqueer people around me.

I like this model because it still includes some of the traditional gender associations from older occult practices, but it opens things up to embrace more identities and experiences. For my practice, this is a good balance between tradition and inclusivity.

I'd love to hear from other queer witches about if and how y'all work with gendered energies in your practice! Let me know what you've come up with!

[venusian-liquoric3]

Made this in 2021, while trying to figure out this gender thing everyone was talking about. Organizing things is very helpful to me.

GENDER DIMENSIONS:

A Model of Gender

Part 1/6

Let's talk about gender.

You might have heard the phrase 'gender is a construct.' Today, we're going to take that literally. We're going to construct gender from the ground up.

Starting with nothing. This black circle has nothing in it. Some people have no gender.  This is one of the meanings of 'agender.' (We'll get into the other meaning of agender later.) Another term is 'gendernull.' When asked to describe their gender, these people might say 'it isn't there,' that 'there's an empty space where gender is supposed to be,' or that 'they don't have much of that.'

Now let's add something! We'll add a white circle, and connect it to the black circle with a line. This dimension adds a sense of gender. It is not a specific type, but it is there! One way to describe having a gender is to say that you're 'allogender.' Usually, it's assumed that you have a gender, so this term isn't super common.

In the model of gender we're using, there are no binaries. (Okay, there is, but it's only there for a bit.) Gender doesn't have to be just there or not. People can have partial senses of gender. These are represented by the line in between our two circles.

The most common term for a partial sense of gender is 'demigender.' Any gender that isn't complete, but is there, can be considered a demigender.

Gender also doesn't need to be static in this model. It can fluctuate.

The term for a sense of gender that gets weaker and stronger is 'genderflux.' Some people go from no sense of gender, to full gender. Others fluctuate through a smaller part of the spectrum - agender to demigender, demigender to allogender, etc.

Part 2/6

Now lets add some of the genders that people can experience! For many people, their sense of gender is more specific then 'it exists/it doesn't exist'.  The way of dividing up the 'it exists' area most familiar to Eurocentric cultures is into 'man' and 'woman.' This is called the 'gender binary'. (Told you we'd have a binary for a bit!) So we'll start by separating the gender circle into two circles - one with an arrow for 'man', and one with a cross for 'woman.'

You'll notice that we're adding here, not replacing. Man and woman are types of allogenders. All the previous things we discussed about sense of gender apply to them. Someone can be partially a man, mostly agender but slightly a woman, etc.

Western culture combines a lot of elements into the concepts 'male' and 'female.' These elements can be divided into some major categories, and are usually referred to as 'masculinity' and 'femininity'. Here are some things stereotypically associated with gender:

Biological Sex - what chromosomes you have. Also frequently applied to what your genitals look like, whether you have breasts, and things like facial hair.

Sexual Orientation - if you like boys, you must be a girl! If you're not attracted to breasts, you're not a real man! Drooling over a hunky actor is the sign that you're a woman instead of a girl! Men are expected to be attracted to women, and women to men.

Gender presentation - how deep is your voice? How long is your hair? How do move your hands while talking? How much space do you take up on the bus? How you look and take up space are expected to be tied to concepts of gender.

Gender dynamics - Women should support and nurture men. Men are expected to take the lead in mixed-gender conversations. Women are expected to share emotions with each other, while men should only talk about them with their wife. Expectations about how we act around our own and other genders are baked into concepts of gender.

Gender roles - Men should be in positions of authority. Women should do the household work. Men should be strong and successful. Women should be sexy. Gender comes with assumed responsibilities and limitations.

Gender identity - how you see and define yourself. For some people, this is mainly defined by the other elements. For others, it's an innate, separate sense.

This model is mostly about 'gender identity.' ('Orientation' comes up briefly in the discussion of 'xenogenders.') But all of the other elements can, and usually do, affect our sense of identity.

For some people, western concepts of gender have been imposed on their culture, and their relationship with western white culture affects their identity. If gender roles, dynamics, and presentation are different enough between cultures, they may become alienated from the western framework. Or they may have concepts of identity that don't exist in western cultures, and divide their models in very different ways than white people do.

For other people, one or more of the other gender elements are so uncomfortable that they struggle to, or can't, accept the identity that is usually combined with it. Maybe the gender roles they're expected to fit into feel painful. Maybe they can not understand gender dynamics and are frequently reprimanded. Maybe the rules of gender presentation are so stifling that they start to hate the identity itself.

Some people are able to reject these elements and keep their attachment to their gender. Other people find it easier to find a new gender identity, than to untangle the relationships between elements. They may talk about being 'male' but not 'masculine.' Or they may embrace 'femininity' but not consider themselves 'female.'

Part 3/6

You may have noticed that the agender, man, and woman symbols could form a triangle. Let's fill in the last line. Just like a person can be any place between a full gender and no gender, they can also be any place between genders.

Note: Some people do not have completely male or female biological sex. These people are 'intersex,' which is a biological sex, not a gender identity. An intersex person can have any gender. However, some choose identities that relate to being intersex and are between male and female, like 'intergender' or 'duogender.'

Some people feel like they have an identity between man and woman. These people are usually grouped under the 'androgynous' umbrella. (Androgynous can also be used to describe ways of dressing, acting, and presenting oneself. We won't be talking about those meanings here.)

Some androgynous people feel they have a mix or combination of masculinity and femininity/male and female. Others feel that they are something that is between male and female, related to both but not part of them.

Androgyne,' 'midgender,' and 'intergender' (though some intersex people feel this term should not be used by non-intersex people) are all terms that androgynous people might identify with. 'Epicene' is also a term some people use for their gender, meaning it is neutral between male and female. Epicene has multiple, sometimes conflicting, meanings outside of gender, and these can make its use ambiguous.

Like male and female, these genders can fluctuate, and 'demiandrogyne,' etc. exist.

Similarly to how gender can fluctuate, it can also flow. 'Genderfluid' is a term for people whose sense of gender can change between genders. It change change slowly - over weeks or even months; or quickly - multiple times a day. The change can feel subtle or obvious. Someone can change only between closely related genders, or between very different ones. They can have two distinct states, experience the whole spectrum between two end points, or have multiple distinct genders. Someone whose gender both fluctuates in strength and flows between genders may consider themself simply 'genderfluid' or choose 'fluidflux' as a label.

The genders experienced do not have to be equal. Someone can be one gender the majority of the time, and only experience occasional and short term changes. Or they can identify with one of their genders more than the others.

Another dimension we can now bring in is multiple genders.

We got close when we discussed genderflux identities. They involve different strengths of gender over time. Some genderflux people consider themselves to be multigender - the different strengths feel like separate genders, and they experience them separately. Other genderflux people may feel their experience of gender varies, but is not separate genders. Genderfluid people have a similarly varied experience.

People can also experience multiple genders at the same time. 'Bigender' people experience 2 genders (either at the same time, or fluidly.) If someone experiences more, they can swap out the 'bi-' for other number prefixes - 'tri-' for 3, 'quad' for 4, etc. - or use 'polygender' or 'multigender.' Some people feel like they experience every gender in existence, and may call themselves 'pangender.'

Part 4/6

So, we've covered gender as it relates to the western binary concept. People can be male, female, both, lack gender entirely, or any combination thereof. If you're ready, I'd like to add another gender (and a new circle, this time with a line that ends in a triangle) and get into the FUN stuff!

Note: Because we started our exploration with a complete lack of gender, rather than the traditional gender binary, there hasn't been an obvious place to insert the idea of being 'nonbinary.' That's because nonbinary means ANYTHING other than men and women. Agender people are nonbinary. Androgynous people are nonbinary. People who are extremely close to a man or a woman, but aren't quite one, are usually nonbinary. (Some may feel they are binary, despite the separation.) And people who experience this next dimension of gender are definitely nonbinary!

Not everyone sees their gender as something related to male and female. They have a gender separate from those.

Perhaps they have a sense that there have always been (at least) three genders, and for some reason this isn't common knowledge. Or they may feel they have a new gender that needs to be added to the model. They may struggle to describe their identity as anything other than 'not male or female,' or they may feel very secure in who and what they are.

We still don't have an agreed upon term for this sense of unrelated gender. An old term was '3rd gender,' but it was used in a LOT of really racist ways, and covered a much larger area of gender experience than I'm focused on at the moment. We generally avoid it these days. 'Aporagender,' 'aliagender,' 'abinary,' 'othergender,' and 'outherine' are all possible modern terms.

No matter the name, abinary genders are pretty similar to any other gender. They can be in flux, be fluid, be partial, or be mixed with other genders.

We started with 'agender,' and now is a good time to go back to it.

Looking at our diagram, you'll see a space between female, abinary, and male. Imagine being perfectly in the centre, not pulled in any direction. You have a gender, but it's undefined, has nothing specific, it's... 'neutral.'

Genderneutral' people have a gender, and that's about all they can say about their identity. Their gender is a blank piece of paper, with nothing written on it. This experience has a lot of overlap with being 'gendernull,' and the two sets of identities are often grouped together as being 'agender.' We're going to show it on our diagram as a circle with a diagonal line through it - a 'not' sign.

Not everyone distinguishes between these different agender experiences. Most terms for specific identities can be used for either.

Part 5/6

We have one final dimension in this model, and it's a big one!

Not everyone who experiences gender can describe it using gender concepts. Some gender isn't related to femininity or masculinity. It isn't a lack, a neutral feeling, or even a separate and distinct gendered feeling. Some people can only express their gender by relating it to non-gender concepts.

We use the term 'xenogender' to describe genders that incorporate non-gender elements. We'll show this dimension on our model as a purple star, instead of a circle, with a cross under it.

Some xenogenders can be grouped into larger categories, and we'll discuss some of those below.

Neurodivergence and mental illness can strongly affect how people experience the world. Some people feel their gender can not be disconnected from their brain make up. These genders are called 'neurogenders.'

For example:

Some autistic people struggle with social cues, and are unable to predict how a man or a woman will be expected to act in any given situation. They can grow up feeling very disconnected from gender, to the point that they may only identify as autistic, or consider their gender undefinable without also talking about their autism. A term they can use for themself is 'autigender.'

Some people dealing with PTSD feel that their gender was 'cut away' or damaged by the trauma they experienced. They might use the term 'caedogender' to describe their disconnected sense of gender.

Sexual and romantic orientation are related to gender in complex ways. Some people find that they cannot describe their gender without reference to their orientation. These are called 'orientationgenders.'

Someone who loves women, considers themself a butch lesbian, and has a complicated relationship with womanhood might call themself 'butchgender' or just 'butch.' 

Someone who experiences no sexual attraction, and feels disconnected from a gender because of the sexual expectations people have of that gender, or the difficulty navigating gender roles without any interest in having a partner, may use the term 'acegender.'

Part 6/6

Some people feel their gender can only be described as an experience, or as similar to something else. These are called 'aesthetigenders' or 'noungenders.'

For example:

A person whose experience with gender feels like that of an alien interacting with something they don't understand might say that they're an 'alien' or 'aliengender.'

A person whose gender feels like energy, always shifting and moving, components understood and the whole hard to pin down, might describe it as 'energender.'

Someone who's spent years unable to describe themself, heard a certain song, and realized it encapsulated their experience perfectly, might use the name of the song to describe how their gender feels.

And that's our model!

Gender identity can be lacking, neutral, male, female, something else, or only able to be described in relation to a non-gender concept.

It can fluctuate in strength, flow between identities, or exist in multiple states at once.

It is related to, but not the same as, gender roles, dynamics, presentation, and orientation. It is also related to, but not the same as, biological sex. Maybe this discussion helped you find some structure in the mess that is gender. If it did, that's great! if not, that's fine too.

I'm not trying to say this is THE model of gender, or even that it is MY model. I created it as a way of synthesizing a lot of data that was hard for me to visualize and understand. I'm still working out my own point of view.

But if it makes things clearer for even one person, that would be wonderful. And if you have any insights, I'd love to hear them!

Envisioning a Divine Gender Practice: Representation, Ritual, Practice, and Holidays

Again this post builds on the work of Delffin (The Queerophant) on Divine Genders. I’m not trying to teach their views, just explore what they might mean for my practice. They have way more on their Instagram and their Patreon than I could discuss here. You should absolutely go check out their work and support them. They’re quality! 

At this point, these are just ideas that I’m experimenting with. I’ve not had a chance to implement these so I think it’ll be interesting to circle back next Nonbinary November and see how much of this holds up.  My goal with this post is to envision a skeleton of a system that could be built on by individuals to create their own practices that include the Divine Genders. What I see for this sort of system is that it could be a coat rack to hang other practices on like soft reconstructionism and chaos magic and traditional witchcraft. It gives a trans and queer positive base from which to launch into other practices that may not have historically been very welcoming to those groups. 

Representation

For those of us who use the Elements in our practice we’re already used to having representations of them in our practice. Since the Divine Genders have elemental associations, I think it would be neat to combine them in some form when building altars. 

Bodily representation also is an interesting idea to me. I associate the Divine Androgyne with legs and torso, the Divine Masculine with the right hand, the Divine Feminine with the left hand, and the Divine Chaosyne with the neck and head. I could see those associations being used to cast a circle or serve as representation themselves. 

I think however I more like the idea of treating them like guardians. If I redo my altar in this style, I’ll likely have one pillar candle for each of Them toward the back of the altar, most likely with some art wrapped around them, and I’ll light them as I call them to protect the ceremony. 

I would love to have actual figurines of each at some point and maybe even create shrines to each as a way to further get to know each of Them. 

Ritual

When I first read about Delffin’s ideas, a poem dropped into my head and I feel like it could be used in this manner to cast a circle. 

“I am both

I am two

And in the aether

Once anew”

I could dig my feet in with “I am both” as this is a way to claim space. Then clap with “I am two” - clapping as been used to clear and cleanse spaces. Then envision a protective force with “and in the aether” and relax with “once anew”. 

I also envision opening by invoking the Divine Chaosyne at the start of a ritual as They represent boundless freedom and possibility. Maybe open by asking for Their blessing. Then I would go about setting up the space more if needed. I’d then invoke the Divine Masculine and Feminine at the same time and ask for their blessing for the work being done. Afterward, I’d close with asking the Divine Androgyne bring the spell to come to pass or bring the work in union with your will. 

I’m still playing with these ideas but I think there’s a lot that could be done here in the way of ritual structure. 

Practice

As far as actual practice, this is where I feel like it’s best to plug in other interests or pre-existing practices. However, I do think there’s room to develop a practice out of the Divine Genders Themselves. I’ll get to holidays and moon phases in a moment but I think one could pray to these Genders. Even if someone is nontheistic, meditating on each of them could serve as a form of practice. 

Each one feels naturally over certain areas:

Androgyne - union, connection, balance, closing a cycle

Chaosyne - expansion, growth, breaking free, opening a project

Masculine - protection, putting out, dismantling

Feminine - healing, drawing toward, creation

I’m sure others could expand on this but it’s a place to get started. One could give offerings and devotion as a form of practice. One could create spellwork rooted in Their areas with their symbols. It’s really a wide open field at this point and I think that’s what makes it to me so exciting. 

Moon Phases

I liked the idea of using the moon as a way to spark consistent meditation or workings with the Divine Genders. So my ideas for right now are as follows: 

New Moon - Chaosyne

First Quarter - Feminine

Full Moon - Androgyne 

Last Quarter - Masculine

This is one I’m still playing with. This one is built around energy with the idea that the Divine Chaosyne has an energy all Their own where Divine Androgyne is between both the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine. 

Holidays

Applying the Divine Genders to Holidays is tricky but these are my personal associations so far. 

I see Samhain as the “Big Bang”, a time for celebrating the Divine Chaosyne and Androgyne in us all. Connecting with the past. and divining the future are both tied with the cosmology I outlined in the last post

Beltaine would then be about celebrating the present, honoring the Divine Masculine and Feminine in us all. Focus is on ecstatic rites and protection, on the continuation of creation

Then there would be Holidays associated with each individual Divine Gender: Ostara for the Divine Feminine, Midsummer for the Divine Masculine, Mabon for the Divine Androgyne, and Yule for the Divine Chaosyne. I wanted them to line up across from each other but it didn’t feel right when paired with the energies of each season so I assigned them mostly according to that. 

Symbol

I feel like most practices have symbols, especially protective ones and I wanted to come up with at least one idea for this path. Please excuse my terrible MS Paint job. I hope it conveys the idea. 

The idea is that it represents all creation and the cycle of death and rebirth. In that way it’s protective because it contains everything, including our existence. It’s just one idea though. I’d love to see other’s ideas for what protective symbols in this vein could look like. I’d kill to have a necklace or a charm of some kind for this path as I’m beginning to work through it. 

Conclusion

I hope this post gives a jumping off point for what including the Divine Genders in your practice could look like. I’ll probably be posting about it more as I go. I’m interested in starting up some tumblr shrines for each so I can explore them more in poetry and art and invite others to do the same. Even if this doesn’t resonate with you at all I hope it gives food for thought in defining your own practice in a more integrative way.

Perisex people I am begging you: MTF is not a synonym for transfeminine and FTM is not a synonym for transmasculine.

Intersex people who are trans frequently have transition experiences that do not match FTM or MTF. Not every trans person is starting from a perinormative idea of bodily sex or gender.

(And for the millionth time: gender assignment at birth is an event not a kind of body. For intersex people, AGAB implies absolutely nothing about what organs or hormone balance they have send also implies nothing about what gender(s) they have had socially imposed on them.)
